While I think tooltips are good for the toolbar icons and great for the modeline, I find them sometimes annoying, especially in occur buffer. e.g. when I move the cursor in the occur buffer emacs keeps hiding lines behind the tooltip "mouse-2: go to this occurence". Showing the tooltip once when one enters the buffer would be ok.
Maybe I missed something, but it seems that one can only globally enable/disable tooltips. I think one should be able to make them buffer local or, even better, be able to enable/disable tooltips for some features (like modeline etc.). I've toyed with this idea and tried (add-hook 'occur-mode-hook (lambda () (make-variable-buffer-local 'show-help-function) (setq show-help-function nil))) This sort of works, but of course it also disables the tooltips for toolbar and modeline of this buffer. -- ------------------------------------------ | Klaus Zeitler Lucent Technologies | | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ------------------------------------------ --- A fool with a tool is still a fool -- Grady Booch _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
